Identifying a goal then working backwards to see how to get there / if it is possible within constraints in DTC is an important part of the planning process.

Itโs a bit counterintuitive to leverage a high growth moment back to back with strong incentive but those who do leverage it often see great success and setup for LTV that year
One of the biggest takeaways in the last year of running Meta ads is that creative variation at scale matters.
Your ad does your targeting and chasing a better variation of a top performer all the time isnโt always the best next step.
Make ads for new avatars. In new formats.

There is lots of noise around the KPIs that matter as an e-commerce business.
This can make it confusing to know what you should be paying attention to, and what decisions need to be made.
One area that speaks the truth, is the financial side of your business.
Knowing your numbers is crucial. Especially to maximize high-volume periods like BFCM.
Financial modeling and forecasting is your guide to understanding where you are, where youโre going, and the path you might choose to get there.

While we canโt speak to your past experiences, and donโt know your current situation, sharing some context below as to why we service different channels.
The way Meta ads have evolved our view is that the true unlock to scale acquisition comes from a deep understanding of the economics of the business, proper creative testing, and a coordinated effort across acquisition and retention to support the business outcomes you want to see.
Meta account structures are much more simplistic than they once were.
A competent media buyer in the DTC space will be able to implement the appropriate account structure and general strategy. Where the real unlock to scaling sustainably comes from is being able to identify how aggressive you can be on acquisition, while maintaining the net margin you require as a business to maintain the desired rate of scale. Ensuring you balance higher margin return customer revenue and new customer revenue properly to maintain net margin requirements. As well as understanding which advertising channel should receive the next dollar of ad spend.
All that being said, it absolutely can still work with separate teams for different channels. It just requires more effort on the coordination side.

Businesses need to be diligent with their paid acquisition spending by analyzing trends from 2022 so they know which periods of the year they can expect to spend heavier due to an increase in efficiency, and vice versa going forward into 2023.
